Interesting Facts

Salsa originated in Mexico and has become a popular condiment worldwide.

Spicy salsa varieties often use hot peppers like habanero or serrano, while non-spicy versions typically use milder peppers like jalapeno or omit them entirely.

The acidity of lime juice helps to enhance the flavors of the salsa and also acts as a natural preservative.

Fresh cilantro adds a burst of freshness to the salsa and complements the other ingredients perfectly.
